For cross country use, no jumps. Anyone got them and would recommend them ?

I have some on my voodoo bizango. They have been a bit hit and miss but I've got them fairly decent now.

The lowers are not lubricated with oil but grease. The wiper seals also where dry from new. They also had alot of top out knock. The knock was due to the air piston design, the piston is not fixed to the rod that bolts to the lowers, the piston tapping on the air shaft is bloody annoying, lots of grease between the two sorted it. Also cleaned the grease out of the lower and added 15ml of 10w oil. Bit of ptfe around the lower bolts and have no leaks. I use it for cross country and no gnar and after the above mods its been ok

As above I had some on my bizango, they were ok for a bit then went a bit sticky. I stripped them down slapped some grease on the internals (as per the MBR video) and dripped some light oil in the Lowers, they were much better after that and fine until I got rear ended my a car on it.

They’re still in my garage actually if anyone wants a very cheap pair and is near to Cannock.
